Holy and Great Saturday is the final day of the Holy Week before Easter Sunday, when Eastern Orthodox Christians mark the day that Jesus Christ "rested" in the tomb and believe that on this day He performed in spirit the Harrowing of Hell and raised up to Paradise having liberated those who had been held captive in hell.
